'Jason is special to me because he has a disability and is different from other people. Since he’s been born he has not been able to see, hear, walk or talk. I know he is a gifted person because he got communion when he was 18 years old, and he received it on my sister’s birthday. I watch Jason when my mom is doing things around the house. I hold him on my lap and hug him because he is so little. Sometimes I give him his drink after supper. I taught Jason to drink by himself. I don’t like it when he pulls my hair but he doesn’t seem to understand.’ This is a quotation from a personal account by Lizzie Suwala on the Sibling Support Project website and she was 9 years old when she wrote it. read full story / add a comment

"For although it founds its ideology on religious references and speaks a language overwhelmed by religious symbols, al-Qaida falls largely within the modern tradition of revolutionary anarchists ..." writes Soumayya Ghannoushi, a researcher in the history of ideas at the School of Oriental & African Studies, University of London, in an opinion piece in Aljazeera. read full story / add a comment

Since the London bombings the Australian mass media has been serving up a steady stream of garbled diatribes from local radical Muslim clerics. One wonders why these fanatics have been kept ‘on tap’ by local security agencies. But after a week of media ‘interviews’ with these unrepresentative Muslims, all becomes clear! Conservative (government) political strategists and media consultants are behind these latest ‘media events’. These relatively easy to locate (moron) fundamentalists are utilised to good advantage by the Howard government and some local political commentators as a means of distracting the public’s attention away from sensitive issues for which the government is directly responsible. It is hoped that public anger, in the likely event of a terrorist strike, will be vented on the local Muslim community rather than Howard and his stooge government. read full story / add a comment

Enda is still missing. My mother, wife of Micheál Ó Seighin (one of Rossport 5) is among those looking for him. He said the earliest he could meet them would be Monday morning. This is not good enough Enda. They are, as I type, staging a picket outside his house. Maureen McGrath, wife of Philip McGrath (one of Rossport 5) is also there. These people have homes and people to mind and farms to run. They have much better things to do than looking for their elected representative. Watch out Enda. We in Mayo have long long memories. The elections will come around and he will have to do some canvassing. Enda needs to take his job seriously and do as the people of Mayo, indeed the people of Ireland, want. Support the Shell to Sea campaign and put pressure on Shell to lift their injunction and let the Rossport 5 come home. read full story / add a comment

It was while returning from such a Ritual of Protection, as I walked, reflecting on the sacred hills of Tara and nearby Skryne, that I was seized with a sudden insight or intuition: that the little-known stream that runs between these hills was made to run north. read full story / add a comment

Japan, after consideration and debate over a two year peiod, looks set this year to alter it's pacifist enshrined constitution. The Japanese government while clearly more right leaning and nationalistic than of late, clearly echoes the sentiment of a certain proportion of the Japanese people. With the North Korean nuclear threat and the ever growing strength of China, Japanese people could be forgiven for being somewhat insecure, However it is mainly because of the US backing prime minister Koizumi has received that he has felt as secure in throwing his weight about recently in south east asia. read full story / add a comment
